Glace Bay (population 1,696,000) is a bustling metropolis located on the east side of Cape Breton Island. It is an extremely wealthy city and most of its residents earn a couple hundred dollars per year. While most of the town is wealthy, the richest districts include Caledonia Heights, Passchendale, New Aberdeen, and Ocean Crescent.

Glace Bay is home to a thriving drug and agricultural industry. Many in Glace Bay make a good living as self-employed pharmacists, distributing needed medication such as OxyContin, Percocet and Dilaudid. There are also a large number employed in the agricultural industry growing cash crops such as marijuana. Call centers are also another booming industry in the city. The Glace Bay World Trade Center, a towering 5-story skyscraper, affectionately known as 'the 6-story office building', located on Union Street, houses thousands of contented call center employees who have no regrets about their choices in life. They work as phone psychics or engage in phone sex with hornyteenagers using their parent's credit cards. Liquor distribution, both from the Nova Scotia Liquor Commission and independent vendors are also a large source of income for the town.

Glace Bay as its name in French implies, has a tropical climate. The average annual temperature is 25°C. Warm, sunny weather persists throughout the year, even in winter. Every year, thousands of Cape Bretoners persist in the annual New Year's Polar Bear swim at Table Head Beach. Palm trees line many of the streets in Glace Bay. Snow and frost is very rare in Glace Bay, and hasn't been recorded in over 10 years.

Despite the warm climate and generally good weather, there is a price to pay for living in paradise. Because of its close proximity to water, Glace Bay is vulnerable to hurricanes which usually make landfall every few years. The last major hurricane to hit Glace Bay directly was Category 3 Hurricane Shaun which hit in 1996. It did substantial damage but most buildings in town, but survived due to the excellent quality of work done by Glace Bay architects and workers. Thankfully, Glace Bay missed the catastrophic Category 7 Hurricane Vance which leveled the city of Halifax in 2003.

Glace Bay also occasionally experiences tornadoes, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. Glace Bay is close to an active fault line which is located under the Grand Banks.

An active volcano, Kelly's Mountain, is located only about 100 miles away from the city and major eruptions effect the city's residents.

Fortunately, no other buildings were affected.

Glace Bay is known for its active nightlife. Many respectable women can be found at two of Glace Bay's high class establishments; the Main Event and the Guildwood. The Guildwood shut down a few months ago, because most of the ladies frequent the trendiest bar in New Waterford, called JT's.

Glace Bay also has a booming sex industry. If high class whores are your thing, you can get great deals on blowjobs at Jean's Experts. If you don't have a lot of cash, the cost of a few drinks at the Main Event or the Guildwood should be enough to pay most prostitutes. Some prostitutes will actually pay you to have sex with them.

Luxury hotel accommodations are also easy to come by in Glace Bay. One can get a five-star hotel room with a small amount of pocket change for the hobos who squat there.

Tim Hortons plays a large role in Glace Bays economy due to the fact that almost every pillhead likes to chill with the boys in front of Tims.
